why is taylor swift so popular?

nothing against her, but i don’t get the massive fandom thing

maybe i’m just too old to understand

She’s pretty and successful and people envy other people who have these qualities.

but there are so many other female artists that have the same qualities 🤔

They don’t have the power of repetition from the media, which also made the Gangnam style guy a star

so you’d say the media selects the artists that fit their narrative the best, and popularise them?

I’d say it is an industrialized formula from writing the songs to the persona, defined by the producers. K pop is the latest example of this.

yeah… and the message hasn’t changed a bit, eh?

The message fits whatever the narrative needs to be.

yeah, that’s true
